Garden Room Designing services are great if you want a stunning garden room that is completely individual and would like to benefit from our extensive experience in this field.

Let’s start by hearing what you have in mind, how would you like your garden creation to work and see where this will bring us. Usually, it ends with an amazing space in your garden.

To make your garden room a talking point we need to start with, well… talking. And it is the role of a Garden Room Designer to find out all of the details we need to create your perfect garden room. We often hear that our clients are not sure what they want, but over time we have found that even little breadcrumbs of information can matter a lot, so be ready to share your thoughts.

We come to your garden and start there. Often the place, its surroundings and location, can give us certain clues we often use in the design of your space. Our Head Designer will ask you about the ideas you have, how you are planning to use the space and many other questions which should give us all we need to prepare the design for you.

Back in our office we put all the information together and start working on your design. In around two weeks you will receive the presentation with material options, all features we think will benefit you and the estimated price of the build (if you decide to use us to build it, that is). With 3D visualisation and animation, you will be able to see exactly how your new structure will work in your garden.

The best way to start your project is to fill in the form on the Get Started page and we will be in touch with you usually within 24 hours. We will have an initial conversation about your project and determine if we can help. If yes, we will schedule an initial call with our Head Designer, after which we will arrange the best time for a design consultation visit.

The main core of our business is the design and building of unique, individually designed garden rooms. Offering design-only service allows you to use builders you know, but with professional, highly specialised designs.

Each of our designs is not only a pretty drawing and interesting shape but is created with constructing it in mind. There is always a possibility you will ask us to bring it to life, so we need to make sure that what we design is possible to build within a certain budget, and also practical to use and live with.

Garden rooms behave slightly differently than houses, therefore our experience in designing garden rooms comes in very handy and guarantees you a perfectly balanced and practical space that works whatever the weather. With over 600 individual designs behind our belt, we know what works and how to solve even the most complex assignment.

The price list below explains the size of your investment and describes the level of service you will receive. If you have any questions regarding any of the items below, simply let us know.

For example, if you are less than 1 hour away from us, we don’t charge you anything, but if you are 5 hours away, we will add a surcharge for 4 hours.

Architectural and technical drawings of your completed garden room design. Those are delivered to you as a download and also as A3 printed pages, so you can pass them on to your own team.

All other (bigger or more elaborate designs are estimated individually, but they come to around £40 per sqm).

The cost of building your garden room by A Room in the Garden team. We offer turn-key service, so all aspects of the project are taken care of. You can focus on your work, family or travel arrangements, leaving us in your garden. In this case, your technical drawing fee is reduced heavily as it becomes part of your garden room estimate. Our Head Designer passes information to our own team. As they know how we work, those drawings do not need to be so precise as for external teams.

In most cases not. We often hear from clients that their architect told them so and they would like to have it. Unfortunately, we found out that a lot of architects do not specialise in garden rooms and their knowledge is not as up-to-date as ours. So before you apply for planning permission, let us look into your circumstances first.

Under permitted development it could be between 2.5m and 4m depending where it will sit in your garden. If installed as a mobile home the limit is 3.05m (10 ft) between floor and ceiling. There is no restriction on the external height. Recommended height by us is 2.4m (7.87 ft) between the floor and the ceiling, as this gives a comfortable amount of room.

Usually within 2 weeks from our Designer consultation meeting, however, if we spend a lot of time discussing various options this might take a little bit longer. We allow for two more revisions, which might take another 2 weeks each, so the latest you will have your design ready is 6 weeks. Please note that with our experience in 95% of cases we get our designs perfect the first time.

Of course we can. This is our main business activity – the design and building of amazing garden rooms. Our Garden Room Designing service has been introduced to cater to those who already have their own team, live very far away from us (although we send our teams far as well) or simply are not ready to build yet.
